Dr. Klaper: the HAPPIEST doctor... thanks to PLANTS!

Dr. Michael Klaper was raised on a dairy farm, became a physician in 1972, and spent his first decade in medicine watching his patients get sicker. Then, he connected the dots: it's the food, doc!

For the past 40+ years, he has been one of the most beloved voices in plant-based medicine, reversing high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, autoimmune disease, and more thanks to the whole plant food diet.

In 2017, he founded his not-for-profit Moving Medicine Forward to (finally!) bring nutrition education to medical schools across North America. He just published his book by the same name, and it's FANTASTIC!

In this conversation we talk about:

• The "toxic red tide" of molecules that flood your bloodstream every time you have a cheeseburger
• Why most doctors know next to nothing about nutrition (and what that costs their patients)
• What it takes to change someone's diet in a clinical setting
• Whether the medical system can be redeemed
• And why Dr. Klaper is the happiest of doctors!

Whether you are in the medical system as a patient or as a health professional, you'll LOVE this episode.
